Great Guinness.
On Abbey Street.


The best pint of Guinness in Dublin? We think it is. Come in and decide for yourself. Settle in for a pint at The Flowing Tide on Abbey Street, catch up with friends or join us before the theatre.

With the Abbey Theatre just across the street and the Luas passing the door, we’re an easy meeting point for locals and visitors alike.
